BALINEWSID.COM, BADUNG — The Denpasar Immigration Detention Center (Rudenim Denpasar) deported a Norwegian woman identified by the initials N.F. on Friday (August 21, 2026), following a 34-day overstay of her immigration permit.

N.F. had previously attracted public attention after a video of her dispute with a beauty salon in the Canggu area of North Kuta, Bali, went viral on social media.

However, an immigration examination found that N.F.’s Visa on Arrival (VoA) expired on July 7, 2026. She was subsequently recorded as having overstayed her permitted stay by 34 days.

During an in-depth examination, N.F. reportedly admitted that she was unable to pay the immigration overstay fine. The applicable non-tax state revenue (PNBP) tariff is Rp1 million per day for an overstay.

Because she was unable to pay the fine and her overstay was less than 60 days, immigration authorities imposed an Administrative Immigration Action in the form of deportation and a ban from re-entering Indonesia, pursuant to Article 78 Paragraph (2) of Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration.

Head of the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center Teguh Mentalyadi said the authorities handled the case in accordance with applicable regulations while taking into consideration the circumstances of the foreign national.

“Every foreign national staying in Indonesia is required to comply with immigration regulations. We ensure that every stage of the process, including repatriation, is carried out according to established procedures while maintaining a humane approach,” Teguh said.

N.F. spent nine days in detention at the Denpasar Immigration Detention Center. After all administrative procedures and departure requirements had been completed, she was deported via I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on Friday, with Oslo, Norway, as her final destination.

With the deportation completed, the immigration authorities declared the handling of N.F.’s case in Indonesia officially concluded.

Teguh said the action was part of the government’s efforts to uphold Indonesia’s immigration laws and serve as a warning to other foreign nationals not to disregard the validity of their immigration permits.

Regarding the entry ban, Teguh explained that Article 102 of Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration allows foreign nationals to be subject to an entry ban ranging from five to 10 years, and in certain serious cases, potentially for life, particularly when they are considered to pose a serious threat to security or public order.

“The final decision regarding the duration of the entry ban will be determined by the Directorate General of Immigration after considering all aspects of the case,” Teguh said.
